The Ayers pear tree is a Southern favorite, known for its sweet, juicy flavor and fire blight resistance. It is a vigorous grower, reaching heights of 20-30 feet at maturity. The fruit is medium-sized, with a yellow-green skin that is sometimes blushed with red. The flesh is white, smooth, and buttery. Ayers pears ripen in mid-August to early September and can be stored for several weeks after harvest. Ayers pears are versatile fruits that can be eaten fresh, canned, or baked. They are also a good source of fiber and vitamin C.
